I’m getting my permit today. I have someone who is going to train me for a full 40hrs for about a week. Do you think It can be done or am I getting scammed? So all I have to do is pay $650 for the exam at a school and pass and I’m good. The guy also told me exactly what school to go to.

@@LuisMedina-yq5fd save up to get a slightly used old one. Most of the failures in trucking is not being prepared & anticipating the costs of maintaining the newer trucks with emissions regulations. I’m currently saving to buy my first truck & its most likely gonna be a 2006 KW. I’m saving for the cost of buying the truck & trailer, as well as saving for a savings fund to be prepared for repairs & insurance.

Hats off to your father, he taught you right! Congrats to you having your own trucks at 24 and handling business like a man should. I am a retired Marine Gunny Sgt. (disabled but alive thanks to a 20 year perpetual war) and got my CDL through the V.A. since I drove my bomb team and k-9s to locate IED's and explosive devices. I have 24 years experience driving missile mobile launch flatbeds in deserts (shit holes). I drove for a company for one year and now on my own. If you let me know where you got your insurance, what state did you buy your truck, and what state did you register it in. I am told Maine has no sales tax and their commercial Veteran plate tags are good for 5 years. Thanks bud for any help you can give me.

Watched the whole video and you are a rare gem in this industry. I've been in this industry for over 30 years and everything you said is true. The biggest draw back truckers have when trying to succeed is their own bad habits. Continue to be a sponge and learn as much as you can, there will be no stopping you. My only advice to you is to diversify your earnings. Take some of your revenue and invest in other markets ( stocks, metals, real-estate ) in the event something happens to your health.

Very impressive! I work for RTS and have been in trucking for 15+ years helping with fuel discounts, factoring, booking loads through our brokerage, insurance, capital loans, dispatching, etc. and this industry will definitely give back what you put in based on my experience. If you need assistance, please feel free to reach-out to me. I think one of the most important lessons that this industry has taught me is that we have to help one another in order to be successful and the more positive relationships we build, the more favor we experience.

I think my first year was a nightmatter. I was working with my stepdad, but the company only allowed us to worked together for 3 weeks. After that I was put with very old people who are fucked up in the head, and for some reason my step that and I were never allowed to work together again... so the next 6 months I broke, I just hated every minute. I chose to go to university and work part time just doing local deliveries. In the company I work with for some reason we never get to chose our partners and most of the other companies i see in my region always ask for 3 years experience. I pretty much only work here until I graduate. Your video was great perspective from someone who is around my age (2 years younger). Not all of the older drivers are terrible, but I can see why we have such a bad reputations.

I bloody well admire you my friend when you said you looked after your mum, respect. I drive an artic here in the UK, we’re treated like crap, apparently we’re 100,000 drivers short, I read there’s a shortage in the states. I’ve been on the road for over 30 years, all we get is bollocks from our government, new rules etc... if I were 30 years younger then I would be happy to drive for you, stay safe, my friend

I’m barely getting on my mind about becoming a truck driver, my brother became one 7 years ago and owns his own truck. He’s about to get his second one and I would like to be a part of it. I’m nervous but I’m focused the pros of it and I love to travel so I’m sure it’ll be worth it 💯🙌🏻

There's definitely a lot of pro's an Cons.. I'm a driver myself.. I like an don't like this video because there's alot of things missing... but overall it's really what you make of it.. you gotta find your way too be happy in the truck... but u can also have daily local home jobs or just out a week an weekends off job an be happy but with less money, or u can bring people an be fun an take long trips, or it could be very lonely sometimes an can't be home cause u out 2 weeks with a company.. its all what u make of it.... but I do know trucking has got me out of debt and changed my life back for the better... and its way better than working in the sun... and it makes pretty dam good money. Wish u the best, maybe see u at a truck stop one day.

Great job buddy I’m proud of you. I started local trucking at the age of 35. I’m now 42 and I would love to finance my own truck and haul frack sand. The question I have the most. How do you remain eating healthy foods? In a nut shell I think that is one of the most important things while surviving in a truck. Unhealthy food will kill you sooner or later. How do you take the time to cook your food? How do you wash your dishes?

I just subscribed to your channel. My dad is a long time trucker since the late 70’s. My cousins have been doing this since the late 90’s and early 2000’s. I have had my stints in it but I am a diesel technician and the company l am with requires a CDL, so I do some driving. I use to roll with my dad on the road and he kept a wash pan and lots of water from home. We use to take a wash up daily by warming up some water. That’s how you stay clean out here on the road.

This is good. You are speaking of value. The quality of life is how much value you can create. There are so many young drivers today that are unreachable. You can tell by looking at how they put out their triangles. LOL, somebody wasn’t paying attention in class.
